The BONDS Must be Paid.

o@ 1
New YORK, June 10.-Ex-Judge
Andrews of this city, received by tele-
graph, one of the most important de-
| cisions that has been given for many
wears in the matter of the reputation
bv the Southern States Of the interest
on State bonds. The decision in
wolves interests to a vast amount.
Judge Bond, of the United States Cir
cult Court at Raleigh, N. c., has de-
cided the case of the special tax bond
holders in their favor. North Caro-
lima issued bonds in 1869 and has not
paid interest for many years. Pay
ment of the bonds to the amount OF
$40, 900, 900 was secured by a provision
in the act of insurance, which ordered
the levy OF a special tax on all real and
personal property of the State of one
eight of one per cent. The object OF
the suit was to compel the State to
levy this tax to nearly 100 per cent OF
the total issue OF the special tax bonds.
The difficulty in all previous suits has
been that the State itself has been
held as a necessary party, and the
courts held that a State could not be
sued by citizens of other States.
Plaintiff in this case, however, Is a
| citizen of North Carolina. Now for
the first time the Federal Courts hold
that a State is amenable to be sued by
its own citizens where the Federal
question is presented by the clashing
of laws impairing the obligations OF
contract. The decision holds that the
act passed by North Carolina to stop
the collection of the taxes to pay this
interest due are null and void, and the
agents of the State must proceed to
collect the taxes to pay the interest.
A special session of the Legislature
will probably be called to consider the
situation.
McMackin's open Letter.
New YORK, June 10.-John Nc
Mackin, leader of the Henry George
party in this city, whose position as
Chairman of the mass meeting in
honor of VIM. O'Brien on Saturday
caused the latter gentleman to deny
himself to the eyes of the greatthrong,
has written an open letter on that cpl
sode and on the denunciation which
lO'Brien hurled at him (McMackin) in
his speech at the Hoffman House BAN
ouet on Monday night. McMackin is
yery bitter in his d~enunciation OF
lO'Brien and those with whom he asso-
ciated in New York. The central idea
of the letter is that O'Brien does not
want to free the tenants in Ireland
from landlordism by Matchmaking, but
merely wants a change of landlords;
that after going to Canada to denounce
Lord Lansdowne, he comes to New
York and hobnobs with landlords
who are habitually guilty of evictions
} as cruel as those practiced against the
iLuggacurran tenants of the Governor
General.
Baldwin's Breach OF Promise Suit.
Il Los ANGELES, June 10.-A suit is
pending here by Louise G. Perkins
against E. J. Baldwin, known as
LUCKY" Baldwin, for breach of prom
Use. The defendant recently asked
for a change of venue on the
ground of prejudice. Miss Perkins
has filed counter affidavits by 260 citi-
zens of Los Angeles and the surround
ing towns, declaring that to their
knowledge there will be no difficulty
} in obtaining a jury which will give a
perfectly impartial trial. Miss Per-
kins alleges in her affidavit that Bald
wins motion for a change of venue is
not for the sake of getting a fair trial,
but to defeat justice and wear her out,
she being pool and Baldwin rich.
Those Deluded Mormon Girls.
New YORK, June 10.-Miss Eleanor
PASTOR, who reached here yesterday
from Utah, said that when Junius F.
Wells found her and Miss Amelia Clegg
he fixed them out in his stable in male
attire that had been worn by farm
hands; and as they were leaving for
the railway station, Brother Bascom
appeared and asked Wells if he had
seen the young women. Wells said
no, and then turning to the disguised
and trembling females, began giving
them instructions about some work on
the place. Bascom then left, when
Wells started the girls toward the cars,
and gave them enough money to es-
cape on.
Another Puzxler for Governor Hail.
New YORK, June 10.-Governor
Hill is face to face with another both
some q~uandary. The Legislature at
its late session passed an act placing
bucket shops under the restraint of
compelling them to take out a heavy
license and submit to such other con-
ditions as would be likely to kill the
business by making it Improbable.
This act is now in the Governors
hands. He would like to concilliate
the moral sentiment of the community
